Coaching Qualifications and CPD

Coaching qualifications offer formal recognition of a 'fit-for-purpose' coach. This is someone that can coach a specific sport, or discipline, in a particular environment to a recognised standard as defined by the governing body.

The UKCC – managed by sports coach UK – is maintaining the standards of coaching qualifications across the UK by supporting, endorsing and continuously improving sports' coach-education programmes.

The UKCC does not take a one-size-fits-all approach and is implemented according to the specific characteristics of each sport. A UKCC-endorsed coach-education programme is developed by each governing body to meet the needs of its sport and sports coaches.
